Astronomy

It is not commonly known that many of the Bible’s statements about astronomy went against the generally accepted teachings of the time. Modern science, however, has confirmed what the Bible has taught. As in all things, the Bible is absolutely correct when it teaches about the universe.

Some professing Christians accept the claim that God used naturalistic processes, including the big bang, to create the universe. Unfortunately, such views deny what the Creator Himself has said about the creation of the universe.

There are many problems with the naturalistic explanations of the formation of our solar system. Because the naturalistic ideas are not based on the foundation of God’s perfect Word, they fall short. Will you trust God’s Word or man’s reasoning when it comes to the formation of the solar system?

Creationists have good models accounting for why we see distant starlight so “soon” after creation—models that avoid problematic atheistic assumptions (e.g., the Copernican principle) and explain the divine origin of the cosmos.

The more astronomers discover, the more evidence they
seem to find that the earth occupies a special place in the
universe. Perhaps that’s because God created our part of the
universe especially for humans to inhabit.

The $3.26 billion Cassini-Huygens
mission, launched in 1997, was a resounding
success. It vastly improved our understanding
of Saturn. The space probe Cassini’s most amazing discovery didn’t make the headlines: the clear testimony to
Saturn’s young age and the fact that it had a Creator.

Astronomers and sky watchers all over the world are preparing for one of the most spectacular Leonid sky shows since 1966.
